No more lit house parties in L.A. says the city.
Last Wednesday the Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved to control "party houses." The ordinance will create escalating fines and penalties for party hosts and homeowners who either host or rent out their homes for massive parties that disturb neighbors, block the right of way or create a danger to the public, according to a press release.
The ordinance began as a motion introduced by Councilmember David Ryu in 2016. Ryu represents the Fourth District which includes the Hollywood Hills.
“Today, we are putting public safety first and party houses on notice” Ryu said in the press release. “The problem of residential homes being used as de facto nightclubs has been growing for years. It’s not just a nuisance in otherwise quiet neighborhoods - it is a real danger.”
